π Riyadh Metro Station Analysis
Comprehensive Access and Origin Study - February 2026
π Study Overview
This comprehensive spatial analysis examines passenger access patterns at 14 stations across the Riyadh Metro network. Through on-site surveys conducted in February 2026, we collected detailed origin and travel mode data from over 3,200 passengers to understand how people reach metro stations across different parts of the city.
The study reveals critical insights into catchment areas, mode choice patterns, and station accessibility across multiple metro lines. Key findings include significant car dependency for metro access, varying catchment distances, and interesting patterns of passengers choosing different access modes based on distance and station location.
The surveyed stations represent diverse contexts across the Red, Blue, Orange, and Purple Lines, including terminal stations, central locations, and suburban access points. All data has been cleaned to remove outliers (e.g., walking trips > 2km, trips > 100km) to ensure data quality.
